A three-day residential leadership programme for people who need to think clearly under pressure
Change Your Life Leadership is a fully residential three-day experience. You spend it training your attention, getting to know how you work under pressure, and learning to read complex material faster and apply it to your day-to-day decisions. The work continues at home, with follow-up sessions and one-to-one mentoring.
After earlier editions in London, CYL Leadership now runs as a fully residential programme in England.
Continued support
Follow-up sessions, web-classes and one-to-one mentorship continue after the residential days.
“I’ve learned about how to keep calm, how to focus… how to be a good leader and planning for the future… see where my priorities are.”

A question of fit
Who this is best suited to
This is designed for people who carry real responsibility, especially when the pressure is more mental than just operational. It may suit you if you are changing role or going through a transition, leading a team, building a business or trying to make more room for judgment in a demanding week.
You carry a high information load
You read, listen, review and decide across too many inputs.
You decide without enough thinking space
Your work asks for judgement, but your week leaves little room for it.
You’re responsible for more than one role
You may also be the person your children or your parents rely on, and that is leadership too.
You want development without motivational theatre
You’re after practical work, not slogans or performance energy.
Not the right fit if
It is probably not the right fit if you are looking only for speed-reading, a conventional management course or a retreat without follow-up work.
What is Change Your Life Academy?
A method created in Italy, taught across Europe, now used in a UK residential programme
Founded in ItalyTaught across EuropeNew UK residential format
Change Your Life Academy started in Italy, where Filippo Rossi created the 3D Reading Method. The method helps people read demanding material with more structure, remember more of it and use it when it matters.
Since 2016, we have taught this method in six countries across Europe. Our UK leadership program is a residential course that gives you guidance before you arrive and support once you return home.
The founder
Filippo Rossi started his career in medicine at the University of Padua before moving into communication, training and business consultancy. He founded the 3D Reading Method and Change Your Life Academy based on the principle that the ability to absorb and apply knowledge can be developed.
The method, in practice
The tools you learn to use
Each tool is taught through practice and applied to your own work, decisions, and responsibilities.

01
The Four Inner Parts
Understand your own patterns
Notice how you react under pressure and what tends to drive that response.
02
The 3D Reading Method
Read and retain complex material
A structured way to approach a book or report faster, so you can identify what matters and use it afterwards.
03
The Train of Success
Turn a goal into a workable plan
Define the goal, test the priorities behind it, and make the next steps visible.
04
The Meditation of Presence
Train attention under pressure
A short daily practice to hold your attention where you choose to place it.
05
The Flow Star
Map your roles without being pulled apart
Look at competing demands and decide where your attention needs to go now.
“There’s a big emphasis on researching for yourself, and not just taking things at face value.”

Before, during and after
What happens if you join
The programme starts before the residential days and continues after you return home. Here’s how it works.
6 weeks before
Before you arrive
You receive three online preparation classes and a short set of preparation tasks, so the main ideas are familiar before you arrive.
The 3 days · the event
During the residential days
You work with the tools in person, apply them to your own situation, and keep a logbook to take home.
1 month after
When you return home
Three follow-up sessions in the first month, so the work isn’t left behind once you’re back to your normal responsibilities.
Ongoing
Afterwards
You keep access to the portal, app, weekly web-classes and one-to-one mentorship.
In the room
The three residential days are the main in-person part of the programme. Here is what you’ll be doing.
Over the three days, you will learn each tool and use it in your own work. You keep a logbook as you go, so the material does not stay in the room. By the end, you will have notes, exercises, and a plan for your first weeks back.
1Day one
Observe how you work
You look at how you react under pressure and start a daily attention practice. You leave with a clearer read on your own habits.
2Day two
Read, organise and plan
You use the 3D Reading Method and begin turning a goal into a workable plan. You leave with a strategy for handling complex material and a plan you can keep working on.
3Day three
Put your learning into practice
You apply what you’ve learned to a substantial piece of reading and link the tools to your own roles and priorities. You leave with a practical plan for your first weeks after the programme.
Each taught day runs from around half past eight in the morning into the evening, followed by dinner together. There is time to talk afterwards, if you want to.

At the age of just 6, Mattia Francesco Rossi embarked on an extraordinary journey into the world of personal growth thanks to the teachings passed on by his father, Filippo Rossi. He has attended courses at international universities such as Michigan State University, Imperial College London, and the University of California, where he delved into NLP, emotional intelligence, neurobiology, creative thinking, and applied problem-solving. He participated in the Professional Master Training and is now an instructor for the Change Your Life Academy programs in Italy and Europe.

Customer care, before and after the event — your named point of contact.
The 3D Reading Method was created by Filippo Rossi, founder of Change Your Life Academy, who teaches the web-classes you keep afterwards. Filippo is part of the wider experience. The residential days are led by the team above.
During his academic years, Dr. Rossi obtained all the major national and international certifications in the fields of communication, organization, and business strategy. He created the system of techniques that form the foundation of the “Change Your Life Academy” and is responsible for the “AND Academy” Project, where teachers from across Europe work together, study, and share the best learning methods and educational models, which will later be divulged for free in schools worldwide at all levels.

The practical details
Questions people ask
“It’s not just about knowing stuff — it’s knowing how to put the knowledge into action.”
Efia Ansah · 2025
“I read 17 pages of a very dense novel — and after discussing them, realised I’d retained practically all of it.”
Sebastian de Gzell · 2024
No. The 3D Reading Method is one part of the programme. It gives you a structured way to read for meaning and recall.
The three residential days are the core, but the programme starts before you arrive and continues after you return home: preparation classes, follow-up sessions, weekly web-classes and ongoing mentorship.
Yes. Payment can be split, and an employer invoice is available. People still come as individuals, for themselves.
Full payment, deposit and cancellation terms are confirmed in writing before you book.
The three days work as one piece, so we’d talk it through with you before booking to make sure the dates work.
Private accommodation and full board are included. We collect dietary requirements in advance and discuss any accessibility needs before booking.
We only use your details to arrange the conversation. We do not share your information with third parties. During the programme, personal examples and group conversations are treated with discretion.
